An Atlanta special, dated Sept. H. says:
News of one of the bloodicst murders ever
reported comes from the left bank of the
Ohoopie river, In Tattnall county. Pleas
ant Jordan, a copper-colored negro, was
counting the daughter of Mingo Parks,
jet black African Mingo objected to the
courtship. declaring that he wanted no
mixed blood in his family that he was the
descendant of an African king, and would
not permit his daughter to wed a man
tainted with white blood. The girl how
ever, was infatuated with her mulatto
lover, and had frequent secret meetings
with him. For week past Pleasant Jor-
dan has been missing. Yesterday some
fishermen cast their hooks in the Ohoopie,
and feeling the hook catch, pulled it out,
when piece of cloth was pulled above the
wate" The men then waded in and found
the body of Jordan weighted down with a
heavy bar of iron. His head was crushed
III as with some blunt instrument Mingo
has acknowledged that he committed the
deed, his only excuse being 1T served him
right"
At Macon several big business movements
are in the wind. Monday James H. Camp
bell, of Campbell, Van Syckle 81 Co, sold
all his business interest to Mr.. Nussbaum.
Mr. Campbell was interested nearly onehalf
in the big hardware business of the firm,
which has a capital of a little over 800, 900
and did business last year of some three
hundred and odd thousand, with profit of
about S35l, 900. With the same firm he was
interested IN the Macon chins store, the
biggest crOckery house in the city. Besides
this he was partner with Nussbaum in the
electric light plant, which is understood to
be a handsome investment Finally, he
owned an interest in the new pillow factory,
that will begin operations as soon as the
buildings are ready. The sale caused a big
sensation in the city, and business men are
making all sorts of guesses as to what Mr..
Campbell'S intentions are. He is worth
from $4,000 to 100000 in clear cash, and
it is thought he will create a stir in com
mercial circles by his recent move Mr..
Nussbaum, in addition to his recent pur-
chase. runs his big wholesale store and his
in the dry goods store of C. l..
OGorman a. Co., one of the biggest con-
Germs of the kind in Macor.
r. Z. L. Folsam writes to the Waynes-
boro True Citizen as follows: your asser-
ton thai DR.. Haygood refused the bishopric
of his church in order that he might ride
the negro hobby is an injustice to him and
TO the Methodist church. | was in Emory
College at the time, and knew his reasons
for refusing the bishopric. We students
were confident that he would be elected
bishop, and were also confident that he
would refuse ordination. When the
news reached Oxford that he had
been elected we held meetings
and dispatched to him resolutions
expressing our deep regret. When the
news came that he had refused ordination,
we were not surprised, and when he APP
peared on the campus and threw kiss at
us our enthusiasm was almost unbounded.
He az first refused the agency for the Slater
fund on the same grounds as those on which
he refused the bishopric, namely, that he
could not leave Emory College in its then
financially crippled condition. If the
church had been as liberal as the trustees of
the Slater fund he would have been bishop
to-day. Those trustees gave money enough
TO lift Emory from her danger, and the
noble DIR. Haygood then agreed to let his
mantle fall on some one else He uobly re-
fused to leave Emory until he could steer
her past the breakers and brought her sal
walton by accepting the agency which he
now holds | assert that no refused the
only because he could not forsake
bis post, ana the church, that should have
relieved Emory danger, failed to give the
needed assistance"
